NAGOYA, Japan—A distinguished gentleman said that DPA played an “irreplaceable role” in promoting values of ‘truthfulness, compassion and forbearance.’ Chinese people inside and outside of China have forgotten about much of China’s traditional culture and values, yet DPA revived them all.”
Dr. Zang is a researcher for a major Japanese agency and a Doctor of Medicine at a United States government institution. He was on a medical exchange in Nagoya. He saw the Divine Performing Arts (DPA) show at the Aichi Prefectural Art Theater Concert Hall, in Nagoya, the largest city in central Japan.
Dr. Zang, originally from Washington D. C., not only conducts medical research, but also teaches at a local Chinese school. He seemed to respond to the performance from his soul. He said:
“I think DPA displays the characteristic of the Chinese culture being passed down by the divine beings originally. When I was back in Washington, I taught Westerners Chinese. Westerners are not familiar with the Chinese culture most likely. Even if you go to mainland China, Taiwan and various other Chinese habitats, it is hard to see the [authentic] culture. Many things have been lost and forgotten. There are many ancient stories that today’s performance linked together. It used a way of expression where no word was said. I think it’s nice this way.”
“I think for Chinese people, this concept [of divinely-imparted culture] is already in our mind upon watching the show. In religions or whatsoever, there have always been concepts such as reincarnation. Like I said earlier, many things are forgotten and lost, but through this performance, through DPA’s effort, these concepts are remembered by everyone again. I think DPA has created boundless beneficence.”
